8 Materials and their maintenance Aluminium: The surface of HOPPE aluminium fittings is protected by either anodising or powder coating. Anodising consists of a controlled, electrically induced oxidation process with the aid of sulphuric acid, which causes the base material to bond with oxygen and to grow a protective surface layer, the so-called oxide film. This film protects the products against detrimental influences such as hand perspiration, humidity and light mechanical stress. In powder coating, the coating powder is applied to the aluminium surface by means of an electrostatic process. It is then heated to a temperature of C causing the paint particles to melt to a film of paint in a chemical cross-linking reaction. There is no known risk to health in aluminium hardware. No special care is needed for aluminium as the oxide film protects it. Dirt can easily be removed with a damp cloth. Stainless steel: HOPPE brand stainless steel hardware is manufactured from chrome-nickel steel (steel no to DIN). Thanks to its longevity, its harmlessness to the environment and to health as well as its corrosion acid-, and abrasion resistance, it is used in the food industry as well as the medical and domestic sectors besides the building trade. Stainless steel is also called corrosionresistant because the alloy components of chromium and nickel develop an invisible passivation layer. If stainless steel hardware show signs of rust, they are caused by rust particles naturally present in the atmosphere. Rust particles as well as traces of dirt and grease can be removed with a household detergent suitable for stainless steel. Stainless steel hardware is also available with our Resista surface guarantee (see page 9). Polyamide: HOPPE brand polyamide hardware is manufactured using high quality polyamide (PA) which not only has enhanced mechanical properties but is also impact and wear resistant. Combined with its anti-static properties, and weathering and chemical resistance makes it a favourite material for engineering applications, such as hardware. HOPPE polyamide products are additionally UV-stabilised. Soiling can be removed with water and/or conventional cleaners. Brass: HOPPE brand brass hardware is made of high quality brass alloys. The surface is protected either by a transparent lacquer of elevated adhesive strength and resistance to solvents and chemicals, by electro plating such as chrome-plating or by a special vacuum coating process. If the protective coat of lacquer is damaged by mechanical action such as accidental scratching with keys corrosion (tarnishing brown) can occur. Brass hardware requires no special care. Dirt can easily be removed with a damp cloth. Use of caustic and abrasive cleansers should be avoided. Brass hardware is also available with our Resista surface-guarantee (see page 9). 8

9 Resista Resista HOPPE s surface guarantee HOPPE Resista hardware has a 10-year surface guarantee (please see Guarantee on the right-hand margin). They are therefore ideal for coastal areas and highly frequented areas such as public buildings, shops and hotels. All products with the Resista surface guarantee have undergone continual quality testing and, when new, conform to the requirements of the European standard EN 1670 ( Locks and hardware corrosion resistance requirements and test methods ). Care: Dirt can easily be removed with a damp cloth. The use of caustic cleansers or chemicals should be avoided. No further special care is needed. Guarantee Guarantee: As manufacturer, we guarantee, under the conditions set forth below, the durability of properly-used HOPPE hardware, over and above the seller s legal liability for material defects.

10 Operational guarantee HOPPE s operational guarantee According to HOPPE, a brand name product keeps its promise of quality to the enduser. As a way of ensuring this, HOPPE gives a 10-year guarantee on all door and window handles (as long as the respective assembly and maintenance guidelines are fulfilled; please see Guarantee on the right-hand margin). HOPPE brand name products undergo numerous tests to ensure flawless operation. Static impact tests and durability tests are also made depending on the product type. These closely reflect the everyday knocks hardware has to take and extend beyond the tests and requirements of DIN EN 1906 or RAL-GZ 607/9. Whereas for DIN EN 1906 and RAL-GZ 607/9 hardware is tested in isolation, HOPPE, more realistically, conducts operational tests on the door and window itself. This means that not just the function, but also the durability of the attachment between hardware and door or window, too, is tested. HOPPE realistically tests door and window handles in situ, on doors and windows. With the 10-year operational guarantee, HOPPE extends way beyond the statutory 4 years of European regulations. The next page gives you an overview of the operational guarantee tests made by HOPPE. 10

11 1. Tests on door handles There are two durability grades (see p. 12) for door handles in DIN EN 1906 necessitating durability tests with various test cycles. Grade 6: Medium frequency of use, for residential hardware: 100,000 test cycles (1 test cycle = once opening and closing of a door). Grade 7: High frequency of use, for non-residential hardware: 200,000 test cycles. Application-related standards are set for the HOPPE operational guarantee. In all durability tests, the door handles are tested on the doors themselves. Residential hardware is tested in 182,500 operational cycles (1 cycle = 1 x opening and closing the door) and handles for non-residential use are tested in 255,500 operational cycles. This is the equivalent of 50 or 70 operational cycles a day over a period of 10 years. Neither the door handle itself, nor any part of it, must become loose during the course of the test. The sets are then tested for their stability, ensuring they work flawlessly. 2. Tests on window handles HOPPE test criteria 182,500 operational test cycles on the door 255,500 operational test cycles on the door RAL-GZ 607/9 prescribes tilt/turn test cycles in durability tests for window handles. HOPPE, again, tests in an application-related way. In tests for the operational guarantee, HOPPE window handles undergo a 15,000 tilt/turn cycle test on the window itself. This is the equivalent to 4 x opening and closing plus 4 x tilting and closing per day over 10 years (1 tilt/turn cycle = 1 x opening and closing of the window plus 1 x tilting and closing of window). The window handles are then tested for their stability to ensure perfect operation. HOPPE test criteria 15,000 operational test cycles on the window Still the Handle of Excellence, even after 10 years hard use! Guarantee Guarantee: As manufacturer, we guarantee, under the conditions set forth below, the durability of properly-used HOPPE hardware, over and above the seller s legal liability for material defects. The guarantee applies to the function of HOPPE door and window hardware and includes all defects which can be proved to have been caused through fault in manufacturing or material. The operational guarantee includes the following features: transfer of the rotary motion to the door lock or the window turn-/tilt-hardware locking mechanism (in the case of window handles with special functions: lockable, push-to-open, Secustik ) Guarantee Exclusions: All interchangeable parts, such as screws, connecting spindles etc, are excluded from this guarantee. Furthermore, no liability will be assumed for any damage caused through: unsuitable and improper use, incorrect or negligent treatment, the disregard of instructions for fitting or care, alterations and repair by the enduser or a third party, chemical or physical agents, where the surface has been improperly treated, for example by sharpedged instruments, elements (door, window) and/or hardware parts (e.g. locks, hinges etc.) which do not work perfectly. Guarantee Conditions: This guarantee relates, within the guarantee period, solely to either replacing the handle free of charge or to repairing same free of charge, on behalf of the original enduser, this decision being at HOPPE s discretion. Costs and expenses, postage and packaging and similar, as incurred by the complainant, shall not be reimbursed. Claim to guarantee shall only occur on presentation of the product itself and the receipt and shall not exceed the original purchase price. Guarantee period: The guarantee period shall be for 10 years and shall begin on the day of purchase by the original enduser. In the event of any claim, complainants should address themselves directly to the seller or manufacturer presenting both the product and the receipt.

12 DIN EN 1906 (general) DIN EN 1906 European and German standardisation for hardware Example of certificate For the purposes of European standardisation, EN 1906 has been worked out to specify the requirements and test methods for door handles and knobs. It was implemented as a European standard in October After several revisions it is currently valid as EN 1906:2012. The DIN EN 1906 only defines performance parameters while the dimensions of the hardware is not taken into account. It introduces a classification code system, allowing products to be compared. This European Standard specifies test methods and requirements for spindle and fastening elements, operating torques, permissible free play and safety, free angular movement and misalignment durability, static strength and corrosion resistance for sprung and unsprung handles and knobs for doors on backplates or roses. Requirements and test methods are structured in such a way that everyday use is simulated: Category of use Durability Door mass Fire resistance Safety Corrosion resistance Security Type of operation Meaning of the numbers in the classification key: Classification key Grades Description of grades 1. digit: Category of use 2. digit: Durability 3. digit: Door mass 4. digit: Fire resistance (You can find further information about fire resistance on p. 32) 5. digit: Safety * 6. digit: Corrosion resistance (You can find further information on HOPPE s surface guarantee on p. 8-9) 7. digit: Security 8. digit: Type of operation 1-4 more information on p or 7 6 = cycles 7 = cycles no classification 0, A, A1, B, B1, C, C1, D or D1 0 = Not approved for use on fire/smoke door assemblies A = Suitable for use on smoke door assemblies A1 = Suitable for use on smoke door assemblies (tested with 200,000 test cycles on a test door) B = Suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies (tested with 200,000 test cycles) B1 = Suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies (tested with 200,000 test cycles on a test door) C = Suitable for use on smoke and fire-resistant doors with requirements for fire-resistant dividers in backplate, door rose and escutcheon C1 = Suitable for use on smoke and fire-resistant doors with requirements for fire-resistant dividers in backplate, door rose and escutcheon (tested with 200,000 test cycles on a test door) D = Suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies with require for a steel core in the handle D1 = Suitable for use on fire/smoke door assemblies with require for a steel core in the handle (tested with 200,000 test cycles on a test door) 0 or 1 0 = Normal use 1 = Safety applications = No defined corrosion resistance (no test) 1 = Mild resistance (24-hr salt-spray test) 2 = Moderate resistance (48-hr salt-spray test) 3 = High resistance (96-hr salt-spray test) 4 = Very high resistance (240-hr salt-spray test) 5 = Extremely high resistance to corrosion (480-hour salt-spray test) = Furniture not approved for use on burglary resistand doors 1 = Mild burglary resistance 2 = Moderate burglary resistance 3 = High burglary resistance 4 = Very high burglary resistance A, B or U A = Spring-assisted furniture B = Spring-loaded furniture U = Unsprung furniture * According to DIN EN 1906 the increased safety tests (for example for doors to cellars where there is risk of falling) are optional, so the figure 0 may appear by digit 5 in the classification key. However, according to DIN 18255, all public building sets, and as such subject to categories of use grades 3 and 4, must pass this test. 12

13 The hardware is classified into 4 categories of use which are based on frequency of use and the expected area of use. The requirements and test loads are graded according to these categories. 1. Category of use (excerpt from the most important tests out of a total of 13) Rotational torque strength test Axial strength test Free play at rest Free angular movement Grades Description 20Nm 300N < 10mm < 10mm 1 Medium frequency of use by people with a high incentive to exercise care and with a small chance of misuse, e.g. internal residential doors. 30Nm 500N < 10mm < 10mm 2 Medium frequency of use by people with some incentive to exercise care but where there is some chance of misuse, e.g. internal office doors. 40Nm 800N < 6mm < 5mm 3 High frequency of use by public or others with little incentive to exercise care and with a high chance of misuse, e.g. public office doors. 60Nm 1000N < 6mm < 5mm 4 High frequency of use on doors which are subject to frequent violent usage, e.g. football stadiums, offshore installations (oil rigs), barracks, public toilets, etc. * HOPPE handle sets for public buildings Examples Rotational torque strength test Axial strength test Free play at rest Free angular movement Durability test The requirements and testing procedures are formulated in such a way that the actual strain of everyday use is simulated by firmness tests, corrosionresistance tests as well as measurement of free-play before and after durability tests on the hardware. At the top of the page, you ll find some test examples depicted. In order to maintain the exchangeability of locks and hardware, some national dimension standards are unavoidable. This is why dimensions for door handle sets compatible with DIN locks and DIN profile cylinders continue to be determined by the DIN standard which appeared as a so-called residual standard in May 2002 as an addendum to DIN EN All HOPPE architectural door handle sets correspond to DIN EN 1906 (May 2002), category of use 4, as well as to the residual standard DIN Furthermore, they have a long tradition of being supplied to the architectural sector. For specifiers, HOPPE offers external or internal test certificates for door handle sets according to DIN EN 1906 which serve as verification of suitability (see example of certificate on p. 12). 13

14 DIN 107 (left/right) How to tell between a left-hand or right-hand door: In order to tell whether you have a left-hand or right-hand door according to DIN specification, you have to ascertain where the hinges are on the inside of the door. 1. What does a knob (pad) / handle set consist of and what is it for? A knob (pad) / handle set has a knob or a push-pad on the exterior side of the door and a handle on the interior side. The knob (pad) or push handle on the exterior side prevents the normal opening of the unlocked door. A knob (pad) / handle set always has a profile cylinder holing and is often used on entrance doors as well as on profile doors (side entrances). Below is an example of a knob (pad) / handle set with knob for corridor doors with a symmetrical handle shape on the interior side. profile cylinder hole (PZ) external internal 2. What do asymmetrical and/or symmetrical handle designs look like? You will find some examples below. Examples of asymmetrical handle Examples of symmetrical handle Bergen (M1602) Cannes (M1545) Phoenix (M1640) Verona (M151) Ródos (M1603) Vitória (M1515) 14 In the case of asymmetrically-shaped handles and knob / handle sets it is important to ascertain whether the handle on a door is to be fitted to the left or to the right according to DIN.

15 3. How do I recognise a left-hand and right-hand door? In order to ascertain whether you have a left-hand or right-hand door according to DIN, you need only check where the hinges are on the interior side of the door. DIN left outside inside hinges left handle showing to the left DIN right inside outside hinges right handle showing to the right 15

16 HOPPE profile-spindle and HOPPE Sertos clip-in technology The HOPPE profile-spindle Easy to install. The Allen screw cannot loosen itself. Perfect operation regardless of door thickness. Spindle Handle receiver component How it works The spindle is made in such a way that it can easily be inserted into the handle, whereby even tension is created over the whole lock follower. Initial tightening: After just one turn, the special screw enters the spindle, holding the handle in the correct position. Firm tightening: The onion-shaped tip of the screw presses the two halves of the spindle and is then held firmly in place by the pressure against the sides of the handle. To ensure play-free fitting, the screw must be firmly tightened. The HOPPE profile spindle is used in many cases where handles are fitted on both sides of the door, whether profile door sets, security sets or interior door sets. The HOPPE Sertos clip-in technology and its advantages Easier and more time-saving fitting: The fitting of the steel base can be done beforehand in the workshop (picture 1 ). The clipping-in of the cover roses (or cover plates) and fitting of the door handles then takes place in situ (pictures 2 and 3 ). Flexible stock-keeping: In delivering the various versions and handles as individual parts (door handles, cover roses, cover plates and steel base parts), flexible stock keeping is possible. The HOPPE Sertos clip-in technology is used in half sets for interior doors, complete interior door sets for project business (e.g. heavily used doors in public buildings, shops and hotels etc.) and fire resistant sets European Patent EP HOPPE-Sertos clip-in technology 16

17 HOPPE Quick-Fit connection Time is money quicker and better: The HOPPE Quick-Fit connection With normal door handle installation, lots of steps have to be taken, quite often not without awkward fumbling. This is tedious and takes time. What is infinitely better is the HOPPE Quick-Fit connection. With its advanced technology, door handles can be installed in one simple step and to last! The key point of the technology is the blocking mechanism, developed by HOPPE, in the receiver handle. This holds the solid spindle of the other handle firmly and without play. It is with the whole width of the spindle that maximum torque transmission is achieved. The HOPPE Quick-Fit connection is a variable axial handle fitting, tested according to DIN EN 1906 and can be used for various door-thicknesses (in a defined area). Door handle fitting in about 8 seconds only Just insert one handle into the other and it is done! You can find HOPPE Quick-Fit connection films (assembly and disassembly) at If you have any questions please get in touch with your HOPPE contact person. The advantages of the HOPPE Quick-Fit connection at a glance: Very quick door handle fitting: around 75% time saving compared with normal fitting No Allen screw or transverse spindles needed no hole for Allen screw needed no alignment of the spindle necessary when tightening the Allen screw no loosening of the Allen screw or spindle possible Integrated blocking mechanism in the receiver handle no tools needed for installation play-free handle connection long-lasting, firm fitting of the door handles Use of a solid spindle solid spindle for maximum torque transmission Variable axial handle fitting tested to DIN EN 1906 can be used for various door-thicknesses (in a defined area) Easy and quick removal of door handles eg, with the Allen key included or a screwdriver Important: HOPPE Quick-Fit products should not be combined with spindles from other manufacturers!

Fitting Before fitting the HOPPE Quick-FitPlus handle set, clip in the spring cassette on the back of the handle rose Please make sure to clip in the spring cassette in the right direction (the arrow indicates the handle s direction of operation). Clip in the spring cassette on the back of the handle rose. Put the handle roses together and fitting is complete! 22

23 Escutcheon with through-going supporting lugs Door preparation and fitting Guide holes Ø 7.5 mm Door leaf This solution is for use on standard doors with standard locks. No special door preparation is needed. Only two 7.5-mm-Ø guide holes are necessary for the through-going supporting lugs. Then the escutcheons can simply be put together. 38 mm Fix the template on the door by inserting the key into the keyhole and mark the bores for the guiding lugs. Drill the holes for the guiding lugs (remove the lock case for this). Put the escutcheons together and fitting is complete! Disassembly By using the disassembly aid, the flat handle roses and escutcheons (both self-adhesive and with supporting lugs) can easily be removed

24 HOPPE Quick-FitPlus connection Simply stick on instead of screwing: Self-adhesive handle rose and escutcheon In many areas, todays advanced bonding technologies have replaced screwed fastening used for ages. For example, the foil used for HOPPE Quick-FitPlus, which is adhesive on both sides, is used by the car and furniture industry, too. According to the respective demands, it is resistant to elevated temperatures, moisture and ageing. The self-adhesive handle roses and escutcheons are suitable for: Solid wood doors Real wood veneer doors Painted doors Decorative surface-/laminated doors The door surfaces in the area where the adhesive is to be used must be totally flat. The sticking surfaces must be clean, dry and free of both grease and separating agents as well as capable of bearing the weight. Yet, for stained doors and doors with oil finish, conventional escutcheons with screw fixing are recommended. Door preparation This solution is for use on standard doors with standard locks. No special door preparation is needed. Bore necessary only if escutcheons are used 24 Clean the door surface in the area where the adhesive is to be used. Only the cloth delivered with the products should be used to clean or remove grease from the surface of the door. Smooth the protruding edges of the holes if necessary.

25 The HOPPE Quick-FitPlus is so easy to fit All you need to do is put the handle roses and door handles together and attach the self-adhesive escutcheons if required. So, the whole set can be fitted without any screws and tools Stick on the handle roses Put the door handles together If necessary, stick on the escutcheons and fitting is complete! Positioning and sticking of the escutcheons Installation key for oval keyholes (OB) The self-adhesive oval keyhole escutcheons can be positioned with the enclosed installation key. For the installation of the profile cylinder escutcheons the cylinder already fitted serves as a guide. The privacy version can be positioned by using the spindle connected to the handle rose. Should the escutcheon not be positioned accurately enough, it is still possible to re-position it as adhesion is complete only after 24 hours. Disassembly With the help of a normal hairdryer you can loosen the adhesion again and then gently remove the handle rose from the door panel by using the disassembly aid (see p. 23) or a scraper. 25

Its removal quite often leaves unsightly marks on the door. The HOPPE Quick-FitPlus fttings completely cover any signs of the old fittings. 26

27 Non-fixed bearing, HOPPE spring and bases Non-fixed HOPPE standard bearing HOPPE uses a washer made of a part crystalline and glide-modified nylon here. This type of nylon is characterised by its high resistance to wear-andtear. This is why the washer, or the non-fixed bearing, is suitable for heavily used doors. The washers come in finishes to match the surface of the handle. washer handle with non-fixed bearing The non-fixed bearing is used as standard on security sets, interior door sets and partly on profile door sets. The new HOPPE spring for sets for interior doors Some of the HOPPE door sets on rose or backplate (loose) have a new spring developed by HOPPE (see section Program for entrance doors ). The advantages of the new spring: they can be used for left-hand or right-hand handles, so they are suitable for both interior and exterior door handles no need for left-hand and right-hand versions for symmetric handle designs Zamak insert in the nylon base to receive the spindle in the spring mechanism. they help the lock to keep the handle in the correct position, so it feels even better when the handle is turned there is less probability of fatigue in the lock the handle always returns to the 90 position The HOPPE bases for the clip-on escutcheons The nylon bases have guiding lugs (pictured is the M42KVS). The alternate screwing ensures a precise and firm fitting. Both bases are identical, thereby excluding any risk of confusion. All interior door sets on rose (non-fixed) with cover caps in aluminium, stainless steel, nylon and brass have these nylon bases. Guiding lugs 27

30 Fixing systems The HOPPE fixing systems for pull handles A splaying system is used for the one-side-fixing of the pull handle onto PVC and aluminium profiles. The pull handle is thereby firmly fixed, completely play-free, for a long period. A long term firm attachment is established by means of the support provided by the steel/aluminium reinforcement (or the main chamber), along with the splaying of the fixing system into the reinforcement (or main chamber) at the same time. In addition to the splaying system, the one-side-fixing of pull handles to wooden doors is provided with a threaded sleeve. This gives the fixing system extra strength. The pull handle is thereby fixed firmly for a long period of time and remains play-free. In addition, HOPPE can provide fixing sets for: European Patent EP Fixing system for pull handles pull handle/pull handle attachments, glass doors (one-side with cover roses and pull handle/pull handle attachments), wooden doors with a thickness of less than 56 mm (with cover roses on the interior side of the door), fixing to walls. The advantages of the HOPPE pull handle fixing system no. 11 BS-1101 BS-1103 BS-1102 Important: In order to mount the pull handles to ensure play-free attachment to the door, we recommend the use of our drilling jig set. Fixing system no is a solution to mounting the pull handle near the lock case (see picture on right) can be used with all nylon profiles with a pre-chamber dimension = V-dimension of mm), as well as with aluminium- and wooden profiles (except single chamber profiles) Fixing system no is a solution to mounting the pull handle near the lock case can be used with all nylon profiles (pre-chamber dimension = V-dimension mm), with aluminium- and wooden profiles (except single chamber profiles) Fixing system no can be used with all nylon-, aluminium-, and wooden profiles with a minimum door thickness of 56 mm (except single chamber profiles) can be used regardless of pre-chamber dimension = V-dimension allows simple and time-saving mounting (only a 10 mm drilling is necessary, as the fixing system has a self-cutting thread) 30

31 Profile door and security escutcheons The HOPPE clip-on escutcheon with self-adhesive base The reverse side of the nylon base used in the HOPPE clip-on escutcheon with a height of 8 mm for profile doors is provided with a self-adhesive pad. In fitting, the foil covering the pad needs to be removed; the base is then stuck on the door and the cover cap is clipped onto the base. In the case of 3 mm high clip-on escutcheons, the self-adhesive pad is fitted directly into the reverse side of the cover cap. Cover caps come in various finishes in aluminium and stainless steel. The HOPPE profile door sliding rose The HOPPE profile door sliding escutcheon has a two-part zamak base. In fitting, the lower part of the base is screwed onto the profile first. The second part is then slid on, covering the screwing points of the lower part and the cover cap clipped on. Once the cylinder has been fitted, movement of the upper base is no longer possible, as access to the screws is prevented. The sliding escutcheon comes with a cylinder cover (see picture height 11 or 14 mm) or with profile cylinder holing (height 6, 8 or 14 mm). The cover cap comes in various finishes in either aluminium or stainless steel. The HOPPE profile door security escutcheon with removal safeguard In the profile door rose illustrated, the zinc pressure die-cast base is attached to the profile with special fixing means. The rose is protected from unlawful removal by a steel plate, which is held in place by the profile cylinder. The cover cap which is available in aluminium, stainless steel, brass or nylon is simply clipped over the zinc base. The HOPPE ES1 security set according to DIN 18257: The HOPPE ES1 security set comes with a steel plate which has an adhesive pad on one side and has to be stuck onto the lock case in the area of the profile cylinder (i.e. on the lock side pointing towards the door exterior side) before fitting the security escutcheon. The security escutcheon, which is available in aluminium and stainless steel or without cylinder cover (for protruding cylinder lengths of mm), comes with a hardened base. 31

32 Fire-resistant door sets Fire doors Fire doors may remain in use for a long time and can have a long life, depending on circumstances. If any changes are necessary over the course of time, the following points should be noted. A fire door must be authorised by building inspectors. Once authorised, no changes or alterations may be carried out. Fire barriers are, according to DIN 4102, part 5, doors or gates which close automatically and whose purpose is to prevent the spread of fire. Fire-doors are categorised according to the length of time they can resist fire (T30 = 30 minutes, T60, T90 or T120). Fire doors must fulfil the following basic requirements: they must close automatically they must meet the specified fire safety requirements (ie they must prevent the spread of fire) they must operate reliably over some time (200,000 openings and closings) How should fire-resistant door sets be manufactured? Fire-resistant door sets have to be manufactured according to the requirements of DIN if they are to guarantee the fire-resistance of fire doors. This standard is valid for all fire-resistant door sets used in fire and smoke doors. In addition to the door set, other fire-tested parts, such as the lock, the hinges, the door closer etc., also make up the fire door. Should any non fire-tested part be used in the make-up of the fire door, then the abovementioned requirements as mentioned above may not be met. Important: Fire door sets according to DIN form part of the building regulation list A of the German Länder (Federal States) Building Regulations and must have the conformity certificate as proof of application. The conformity certificate is issued by a recognised testing and certification body as long as the building product corresponds to the appropriate technical regulation (in this case DIN 18273) and has undergone a continual inhouse production test as well as an external test by the certification body. HOPPE fire resistant sets (not individual parts) have been tested by the Materials Testing Institute of North Rhine-Westphalia, bear the Ü (for supervision) sign and assure you, as an planner, of using the appropriate proof of application as required by law. Basic features of sets manufactured according to DIN mean that: The materials and assembly of the fire-door handles must be of such that the fire-preventing properties and long term function of the door are not infringed in any way when fitted to the door under the prescribed conditions and used appropriately. The square spindle must be made of steel, measure 9 mm x 9 mm and lengthwise be made up of one single part only. If fire door handle sets (for example aluminium sets) are made from a material which melts below 1,000 degrees (300 degrees for smoke-doors) then, as a rule, all individual parts relating to the function of the door handle set (handle with steel core/backplates and roses with steel underplate/fixing means made of steel) must be made from material which melts above 1,000 degrees. What is important is that the fire door can still be operated after a fire. Fire door handle sets have to be able to withstand an endurance test (200,000 openings and closings, inactive door leaf set 100,000) without incurring damage such as distortion or cracks. Doors on escape routes must be provided with door handles the ends of which are suitably shaped (e.g. curving back towards the door) to avoid injury see HOPPE fire-resistant FS-138F handle. 32

33 HOPPE fire-resistant handle sets conform to DIN requirements (to suit doors up to T90 requirements) All HOPPE fire-resistant sets of the Paris and Bonn series have long lugs to bridge relatively large door thicknesses. In the case of sets on rose or short backplate, the lugs have been reduced from a 7 mm diameter to 6,2 mm. This means that the lock hole, depending on the type of door, should be at least 6,5 mm (see line drawing). If this is not the case, please state exact dimensions of the lock hole and door thickness. Ø 7 mm Ø 6,2 mm fixed knob fixed movable HOPPE fire-resistant handle-knob sets are all fitted with a fixed knob and a fixed/movable spindle. In escape-routes, handle-knob sets may only be used when the direction of the way of escape is absolutely clear. profile spindle with thread It is usual for panic door handle sets (FS-AP) to be fitted on doors in escape routes. For this reason it is advisable to choose a type of handle which is curved in towards the door leaf. All door handle sets for locks with an panic function must have both a firm and movable handle fixing on the base plate. All HOPPE fire-resistant sets come as fixed/movable versions. In such a way force is not spread to the lock follower. Handle end towards the door leaf FS-AP spindle Inactive door leaf sets (FS-SF) produced by HOPPE all come with an exterior backplate or exterior blind rose. The square spindle can be fitted accordingly, depending on the type of lock. blind rose on the outside fixed movable solid spindle 33

34 DIN EN 179 and DIN EN 1125 DIN EN 179 for emergency exit devices and DIN EN 1125 for panic devices The new European standards, DIN EN 179 for emergency exit devices and DIN EN 1125 for panic devices, have been in force since June 2002 and were revised in 2008 in terms of the requirements for handle dimensions among other things. In the past, no distinction was made in escape routes between doors with emergency exit devices and doors with panic devices. All fire and panic door hardware with a spindle of 9 mm and handle shapes turned towards the end of the door leaf was admissible. The above-mentioned standards differentiate between two types of devices. They define the requirements and test procedures and give concrete advice on their use. DIN EN 179 emergency exit devices DIN EN 1125 panic devices Area of application: For doors in escape routes where emergency situations can arise. The people in the building are familiar with the exits and their hardware (ie in office buildings not used by the public at large). Emergency situations: An emergency situation is when a life-threatening situation arises for one or more persons yet is not necessarily a cause for panic. A typical scenario is a fire in an office where the office-staff are familiar with the escape route and where evacuation can occur in a controlled way. Area of application: For doors in escape routes where panic situations might arise. The exits and their hardware are not familiar to everyone (eg exit doors on public buildings). Panic situations: A panic situation can arise when many people have to evacuate a building. Thick smoke, darkness and the presence of people not familiar with the surroundings are important factors. A typical example is a fire in a cinema. 34

35 DIN EN 179 emergency exit devices Permitted hardware: Door handles or push-bars which have been developed for emergency situations (please see drawings below). Important information: Handles or push-bars and lock must always be tested and certified together. It is absolutely essential to adhere to national regulations. DIN EN 1125 panic devices Permitted hardware: Horizontal push-bars, which cover the width of the door. Important information: Handles or push-bars and lock must always be tested and certified together. It is absolutely essential to adhere to national regulations.

46 Windows and breaking in Windows and breaking in About two-thirds of all break-ins in detached houses occur through windows or French doors. Common ways of breaking in are by forcing the window with levers or by tampering with the window fitting from outside, whereby the window handle can be moved to the open position. Tilted windows, too, can be an invitation for burglars. The window handle can be reached through the opening and then turned to the opening position, thereby allowing free entry into the house. HOPPE can provide more protection for windows with the technical solutions Secustik, Secu100 and Secu100 + Secustik. Secustik technology Window handles with Secustik technology hinder unauthorised tampering with the window fitting from outside by an integrated jamming mechanism. The precision clicking of the blocking mechanism when engaging itself is the audible sign of more security for your windows. For more information about this technology see page 53. Secu100 technology The Secu100 technology prevents the turning and pulling off of the window handle up to a torque of 100 Nm*. For more information about this technology see page 57. * 1 Nm (Newton metre) is equal to the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a lever arm which is 1 metre long. Secu100 + Secustik technology The Secu100 + Secustik combines the Secu100 with Secustik technology. With this, not only is there a high degree of safety when locked, but also an in-built permanent, basic security even when unlocked. For more information about this technology see page 58. Standard RAL-GZ 607/9 RAL-GZ 607/9 DIN EN (RC1-6) RAL-GZ 607/9 DIN EN (RC1-6) RAL-GZ 607/9 46 On the following pages you will find not only detailed information about window handles but also about relevant standards. You will also learn what distinguishes a HOPPE handle from others as well as finding out about the technology developed by HOPPE.

47 DIN EN , DIN and RAL-GZ 607/9 DIN EN for window handles The European standard DIN EN comprises 19 parts relating to hardware for windows and door height windows. Part 3 has been fully revised ( February 2012 edition) and uses a 9-digit classification key (see page 49-51) to define requirements and testing procedures for handles, particularly Tilt and Turn, Tilt-First and Turn-Only hardware. Two categories of use for handles were defined for the first digit of the classification key, taking into account the various quality levels in Europe. The superior grade 2 reflects the tried-and-tested product properties of existing RAL window handles. The seventh digit defines three security grades for lockable window handles. They were designed in such way to match the requirements of the European burglar resistance standard DIN EN The European standard DIN EN does not stipulate any requirements in terms of window handle dimensions. These requirements are defined in DIN (e.g., square spindle 7 mm, screw fixing distance 43 mm). The revised DIN EN also forms the basis for the revised quality guideline RAL-GZ 607/9 (September 2012 edition). As a minimum requirement, the window handles must meet grade 2 of category of use and grade 2 or 3 in the security category (see tables on page 47-48). Additionnally, RAL- GZ 607/9 uses the following classifications: RAL Window handles with RAL-compatible click mechanism, min. 10,000 tilt and turn cycles, min. 48 h corrosion resistance in salt spray test.

52 Fitting HOPPE window handles Fitting HOPPE window handles You can fit or remove HOPPE window handles easily as they come with either a full cap or with a turnable, spring-loaded cover plate. Window handle with cover plate Window handle with cover cap Cover cap (covers the rose base completely) Cover plate (covers the front part of the rose base) Fitting example: When assembling, the handle just has to be put in the opening (horizontal) position with the cover cap removed from the front of the rosette via the neck and turned to the side. Now you have free access to the screw points. Fitting example: To fit the handle all you need to do is put it in the opening (horizontal) position with the cover plate slightly raised and turned. Now you have free access to both screw-holes. screw holes screw holes 52 cover cap cover cap

53 Secustik Secustik The window handle with the built-in security you can hear Secustik window handles contain a patented jamming-device which provides integrated security. This makes it more difficult to move the window fitting unlawfully from outside. It works by a coupling element acting as a sort of mechanical diode. This allows for normal use of the window handle from inside, but jams the handle if anyone tries to turn it from outside by way of the fitting. As the handle is turned through 180 degrees from the closed position to the tilt position, the jamming-device makes a series of clicks proof of the built-in security you can hear. This is how the typical Secustik clicks are made Patented blocking mechanism of the Secustik window handle. European Patent EP Secustik As the window handle is turned, the sprung security bolts 1 click as they go over special notches 2 in the housing, indicating the built-in security. As the handle is turned, the security bolts 1 are carried by the coupling element( 3 to the individual notches 2, producing the clicking sound. This is how Secustik technology effectively helps impede break-ins As a break-in is attempted, the security bolts 1 are forced into special notches 2 in the housing by a second coupling element 3. It s in this position that the security bolts 1 effectively impede the turning of the window handle from outside. The window handle locks and foils the attempted break-in. You can find a Secustik film at If you have any questions please get in touch with your HOPPE contact person. Secustik is a registered trademark and protected by patent. 53

54 The adjustable spindle from HOPPE The perfect fit! The New York window handle with adjustable spindle There are many different profile systems available for aluminium, wood and PVC windows, and this stems in no small part from energy saving requirements and safety concerns, as well as design considerations. What is more, these systems also require compatible spindle lengths. It follows that a range of window handles with different spindle lengths must be held in stock. This is inconvenient and leads to considerable additional logistical and administrative costs. The product solution from HOPPE A single window handle for a range of window profiles. With the adjustable spindle for window handles, you will have the right spindle length for a variety of window profiles already in stock. This is because the length of the adjustable spindle in the window handle adapts to the depth of the individual window profile, which is enabled by means of a pressure spring fitted on the spindle in the inside of the window handle. Thanks to the spring mechanism, the spindle is pressed smoothly into the square recess of the gear follower, ensuring a perfect fit. The window handle can be used with an installation depth range of up to 10 mm. It can be installed with ease and flexibility on window profiles of various depths. * Window handles with Secustik technology feature a patented locking mechanism to protect against unauthorised movement of the window fitting and turning of the spindle from outside. The integrated Secustik technology* hinders movement of the window fitting and turning of the spindle from outside. Naturally, the Secustik window handle with adjustable spindle has been tested to RAL. Compared to the current window handles with fixed spindle lengths, the new window handle with adjustable spindle reduces the number of variants considerably. The associated cost saving potential from the reduction in complexity is clear to see. 54

Overview of the special features of the New York Secustik window handle with adjustable spindle: Flexible use on window profiles of various depths thanks to pressure spring integrated into the handle neck Spindle length adjusts smoothly to the depth of the individual window profile Length adjustable up to 10 mm Window handle contains patented lock mechanism that uses tried-andtested Secustik technology Great potential for savings on storage and logistical costs 10-year operational guarantee Brand quality, tested to RAL European Patent EP Secustik window handle with adjustable spindle 55

56 SecuDuplex SecuDuplex The window handle with innovative double function The SecuDuplex window handle connects the push-to-open technology with a locking cylinder. The two functions combined that s the innovative double function technology developed by HOPPE. Normal lockable window handle: With a normal lockable window handle, the handle can be moved when the locking cylinder is unlocked by the key. If the locking cylinder is pressed in the closed or 180 tilt position, the window handle remains locked. SecuDuplex window handle with innovative double function: With the SecuDuplex window handle and its double function, the handle can only be moved when the push button locking cylinder is unlocked and then pressed when turning. This means, once unlocked with the key, the handle can only be moved by pressing the push button locking cylinder, too. If the push button locking cylinder is not pressed, the handle remains locked in the 0 closed or 180 tilt position. Moving the window hardware and turning the spindle from the outside is made more difficult by automatic locking (push-to-open technology) even when the window is not locked. Locking the window handle by key prevents the unwarranted moving of the handle from inside, and attempted break-in from outside is made considerably more difficult Unlock, keep pressed, turn! 56

58 Secu100 + Secustik Secu100 + Secustik = the standard for ease and built-in security you can hear The Secu100 + Secustik window handle combines the technology of the Secu100 and Secustik. This not only creates a high standard of mechanical safety when locked, but also a permanent basic security when not locked. This means that: The Secu100 technology is able to resist a forceful turning or pulling of the window-handle from the rosette up to 100 Nm turning pulling It is the Secustik technology which helps impede unlawful tampering of the window-handle from outside by an integrated blocking mechanism. The clicking sound is the audible sign of greater basic security. Secu100 + Secustik The most important advantages The handles meet the requirements of the European standard DIN EN so they can be sold throughout the European Union Meets the DIN standard for burglar-resistant retrofitted products meaning additional sales opportunities in the renovation area They also meet the requirements of all resistance classes of DIN EN RC1-6, when used with the appropriate window Attractive and successful handle designs 58 Secu100 + Secustik is a registered trademark.
